    We're going to miss your heart, hustle, mid range jump shot and your gap toothed mouth piece.

    May you enjoy a long and successful career!

    Agreed; though people of his skill level aren't hard to find, the personality is what I'll miss. Dante put in a lot of effort and basically overperformed for his draft position. Loved his heart and hustle, even if he did make some mistakes out there.

    Agreed. Really started to find his role on the team recently.

    A good find in the second round. Dante was what you look for out of bench guys with his hustle.

    DC wasn't great but at least he was tough. He wasn't afraid to put a hard foul on a guy

    Good luck to Donte.

    He played as hard as anyone ever has here in Portland.

    Cunningham was/is horrible. I am so glad to see him gone so that I don't have to feel bad about hating him. He is the prototypical role (if you can call it that) player that this fan base falls in love with for no reason other than that they are on the roster and "hustle". He was worthless, and all this "he is a body" talk was so much garbage. Hello Gerald Wallace!

    I was against drafting Dante, but he proved me wrong. I know I'll always cheer him and I suspect he'll always be warmly welcomed in Portland.

    Dante is going to be in this league for a very long time! He's solid, coachable and humble! Makes for a solid pro! Good luck!
